Norman isn't my god. My religious beliefs - which I'm sure you'd caricature and be wrong - are none of your business.

But no, Norman isn't the end-all beat-all. But he certainly didn't deserve what happened, and his ideas are grossly misinterpreted.

I haven't read that one, no. But I am well-read. I believe in treating people equally, - AND I DO - but not forcing them to be or become exactly equal. There is a huge difference.

Perhaps you know DeTocqueville?

I said de-facto censorship. And Philosophically, you only need to eradicate ideas you are afraid of - which…

I read Marilyn French. I read her contemporaries. I know my enemy, and I know them well.

And all I see is another baskin-robbins flavor of victim mentality and 'eat the rich' framed at women.

And all I see her intellectual descendants doing is forcing people to do things the way they think they should be done, i.e.…

No, if you want his Philosophy, read his Philosophy. It's called Ethical Naturalism. It also does not actually espouse slavery. Or even BDSM, by the way.

He talks about the biological relationship of men and women and uses the metaphor to prove a point.

If you are against Naturalist thought, you will disagree. But…

No, the daughter was the daughter of the publisher, not the daughter of the author.

And yes, as I said - not the greatest author, but if we're talking censorship and not economic theory, my example still stands.

One can also be counter-Feminist without being against women. Feminism is a mutant creature of Marxist…

I would love to have intellectual discourse with people who actually cared for it rather than just reinforcement of the Zeitgeist in a happy echo chamber.

Unfortunately, not many want that, so yes, I am defensive.

A very prominent publisher died. His daughter, a militant Feminist, got sole control of the company, blackballed his work and got it pulled, and ensured that he was never published again for almost 30 years.

Only in about the last 15-18 years was he able to find a publisher again, and his body of work is still mostly…

You're advocating victim class rhetoric and I could check my Marxist/Socialist bingo board almost completely off by the implication of your statements.

Also, contrary to popular belief: Nazis were Socialist. Hitler and Stalin disliked each other because of methods, not because of their core ideology.

Oh, look. The argument-destroying "Check Your Privilege" Knights have arrived.

No, he was using literature to explain his Philosophy in a fantastical setting to people who don't read Philosophy. And he's not a great writer because he's not a professor of English.

And he was a fan of pulp fiction like Howard.

He was unfairly censored and pilloried, yes. And he needn't have been - if his ideas were…

Not the best at dialogue, but a genius if you ever actually read his Dissertation.

However, the censorship issue is real, and it did happen.

Or does the world only care if it happens to people supporting popular causes?

Ah, someone whose name is 'Kommandant' espousing Marxist thought.

I am so very surprised.

Oh, so you'd advocate such censorship NOW, but because it didn't happen THEN, it slides?

So no, you didn't see the hole.

Fucking Thought Police asshat.

So if you feel that way, go make more games with female leads, instead of bullying people into your mentality.

Oh, but wait, Mao. You're a Marxist, and you despise the productive instead of the outrageous.

This is exactly my point.

Storytelling is Storytelling. Art is Art. Freedom of Expression is Freedom of Expression.

You are talking about mediums.

You obviously don't see the hole in the logic. It's okay.

They don't accept that. That's why they praise open-world games, despite the necessary step of diluting any solid story to make an open-world game.

That is also the entire reason that Trey and Matt made Token. His name is literally Token Black.

It's the same problem with narrative you run into with choose your own…

Ubisoft responds to *MANUFACTURED Assassin's Creed Female Character Controversy

IFTFY.

You say you are a friend of truth?

Like I said, do people make the same demands of authors?

I'm curious if there's a similar strain in modern publishing houses, where they won't give you a slot on the press if you don't pander to groups x,y, and z.

It's happened before, if you're familiar with the case of John Norman aka John Frederick Lange and his Gor…
